So I just downloaded the open-source QtCreator and I hoped to set the Dracula theme for this IDE, but I failed to do so, and I have no clue what I'm doing wrong.
So far, every where I looked for third party themes, they've been telling me to put it in a map on location "$HOME.config\QtProject\qtcreator\styles" (windows). Fine, but after I've copied the file into that folder, the theme is not showing up in the theme list when I'm trying to set a new theme in QtCreator, selecting Tools > Options > Text Editor > Theme-button :/
I'm quite (90%) sure the path/location is correct, but I assume the themes have moved to somewhere else. I would like to set-up this theme, instead of the default dark-theme. Thanks in advance!
So I found out the themes were located in PathToQt\Qt\Tools\QtCreator\share\qtcreator\styles. The developpers must have changed moved the theme folder, but now between the other .xml files, the Dracula.xml file works just fine.
I hope I fixed every one else's problem, who came to ask himself where the heck they had to put that theme.
I'm writing a custom theme based on kkga's Spacegray theme, and I've run into an issue with the sidebar icons.
These are NOT the file icons feature, but the icons to denote if a folder is open/closed.
It looks like this:
However, when you hover over the rows, the highlighted row's icon renders just fine. Same image, and same path specification - so it's not an issue of the theme being unable to locate the file.
Can somebody more familiar with ST3 themes point me in the right direction to debug this issue?
ST3 Theme Docs can be found here: https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/3/themes.html
Ugh, I feel really silly. Turns out that the icons that were working, were cached versions (you can find the cache at /Cache/<package name> in the ST3 library folder).
I deleted the cache, reloaded the app and found that all the icons were not rendering. Realized that I had moved the whole package into the nested User directory recently, and as a result the texture paths were no longer correct.
Posting this for posterity. Mods, feel free to close this question.
I am trying to build my own version of Firefox with slight UI changes and by adding some addons(extensions) to the build.
I have downloaded the source code from repo. Where would I start to achieve this?
Which all codes hold the UI structuring? Where do I put my addon xpi files?
PS: I tried to read the Mozilla documentation. Its either kinda outdated or I am not really getting it? A detailed insight would be much appreciated.
Addons
To do this, simply place the extensions in the distribution/extensions
directory in the application's distribution directory.
Here are the extension

Does anyone know if there is a colour scheme I can import into Sublime Text that matches the syntax colours used in Xcode? I've looked high and low and can't find anything. I love sublime but I'm not a fan of the colour schemes and prefer Xcode.
Cheers!
The excellent Colorsublime has listed a theme called XCode Default that looks like this:
For now it seems to be permalinked here.
Still unsatisfied? Try making your own, as one of the commenters on your question suggested. TMTheme Editor can help.
You can get all their themes (much easier to navigate) from their github:

I like the dark "FakeVim" color scheme in Qt Creator. However it only makes the editor part dark while everything else stays normal, which is a bit disturbing. Is there any way to make such dark scheme global for Qt Creator?
Vim (dark) Color Scheme
Color scheme is applied solely to text editor (as this is the only option), and not the environment.
Simple in two line
Go to "Tools" -> "Options" -> "Environment" -> "General" tab,
Change "Theme" to dark
I found some trick for your problem!
Here you can see it: Habrahabr -- Redesigning Qt Creator by your hands (russian lang.)
According to that article, that trick is kind of not so dirty, but "hack" (probably it wouldn't harm your system, but it can leave some artifacts on your interface).
You don't need to patch something (there is possibility, but I don't recommend).
Main idea is to use stylesheet like this stylesheet.css:
// on Linux
qtcreator -stylesheet='.qt-stylesheet.css'
// on Windows
[pathToQt]\QtCreator\bin\qtcreator.exe -stylesheet [pathToStyleSheet]
To get such effect:
To customize by your needs, you may need to read documentation: Qt Style Sheets Reference, Qt Style Sheets Examples and so on.
This wiki page is dedicated to custom Qt Creator styling.
P.S. If you'll got better stylesheet, share it, I'll be happy! :)
UPD (10.12.2014): Hopefully, now we can close this topic. Thanks, Simon G., Things have changed once again. Users may use custom themes since QtCreator 3.3. So hacky stylesheets are no longer needed.
Everyone can take a look at todays update: Qt 5.4 released. There you can find information that Qt 5.4, also comes with a brand new version of Qt Creator 3.3. Just take a look at official video at Youtube.
So, to apply dark theme you need go to "Tools" -> "Options" -> "Environment" -> "General" tab, and there you need to change "Theme".
See more information about its configuring here: Configuring Qt Creator.
In newer versions of Qt Creator (Currently using 4.4.1), you can follow these simple steps:
Tools > Options > Environment > Interface
Here you can change the theme to Flat Dark.
It will change the whole Qt Creator theme, not just the editor window.
Here is my dark theme (based on Darcula IntelliJ Theme):
https://github.com/mervick/Qt-Creator-Darcula
QTcreator obeys your kde-wide configurations.
If you choose "obsidian-coast" as the system-wide color scheme qt creator will be all dark as well.
I know it is a partial solution but it works.
My Dark Color scheme for QtCreator is at:
https://github.com/borzh/qt-creator-css/blob/master/qt-creator.css
To use with Vim (dark) scheme.
Hope it is useful for someone.
I found a way to change the Application Output theme and everything that can't be edited from .css.
If you use osX:
Navigate to your Qt install directory.
Right click Qt Creator application and select "Show Package Contents"
Copy the following file to your desktop> Contents/Resources/themes/dark.creatortheme
or /default.creatortheme. Depending on if you are using dark theme or default theme.
Edit the file in text editor.
Under [Palette], there is a line that says error=ffff0000.
Set a new color, save, and override the original file.
Linux, Qt Creator >= 3.4:
You could edit theese themes:
/usr/share/qtcreator/themes/default.creatortheme
/usr/share/qtcreator/themes/dark.creatortheme
Here is a theme that I copied all the important parts of the Visual Studio 2013 dark theme.
**Update 08/Sep/15 - Qt Creator 3.5.1/Qt 5.5.1 might have fixed the rest of Qt not being dark properly and hard to read.
